Nevermind. I got it booting using the kszaq build linked above. However the latest build LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2-8.2.2.1-LePotato.img.gz (which is auto-updated on first boot) fails to boot when upgraded. Catch 22. Any ideas?

Anyone gotten the onboard IR receiver working? I do not have a NEC RC5 remote, so I tried using my trusty old HP MCE Remote, but I cannot get it recognized by remotecfg. Tried enabling LIRC in LibreElec but /dev/lirc0 is never created. Is meson_ir module required?

@Redferne You can set MAC address by editing boot.ini, add mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx to bootargs. As per IR question, I replied at LE forum. I'm implementing a way to generate MAC address for the board in case it's not provided.

@wappi You said yourself that random MAC address issue exists in all operating system which is a clear indication that this is not a LibreELEC issue but a general one. Please look at my post above where I already said that I'm planning to implement a workaround for this. You have to wait for it. 2 main reasons: it's Christmas (family time, not tinkering) and I don't have a LePotato board.

@bo1e Can you attach a log from serial console to show what's happening when it's not booting? As I said before I don't have the board, I also changed nothing that could prevent the boot and without a log I cannot tell what's happening. Thanks.

New version released with booting issue fixed and random MAC address worked around. I also fixed parsing boot.ini so you can customise it and it will take actual effect. Changelog will be available today evening.

@kszaq :
I have an issue that did not appear in 8.2.1.2 when setting kodi resolution to 2160p.
The kodi interface scales to 2160p in 8.2.1.2 but not in 8.2.2.2.
The interface only occupies a quarter of the screen in this case.
When playing a 4k movie, the kodi overlay and subtitles are displayed as if the resolution was still 1080p.

HDR works fine too.

EDIT: the remote through lirc works great on this build. I had to activate lirc in libreelec services configuration addon and that was it. Great work

Having some stability problems. Crashed a couple of times scraping a large library of media. And also crashes now if I try to backup settings via the libreelec addon. Will start but crashes midway thru. Tried uploading logs, but that gives me a "500 internal server error". Can provide logs if anyone wants to have a look.
